Could be a lot of things (including memory, but that's one of the least likely). First suspect would be a power supply; but your question would be better answered by posting this in the Hardware Forum.

HARDDRIVE: Possible that the harddrive is not running at its normal speed, freezing up or slowing down. Or has quit. My computer took 20 min. to boot the other day. I was watching the HDD activity indicator light, and it would remain on, and not rapidly blinking. Mechanical devices do have problems.
Harddrive manufacturers have software for download for testing HDD.
